Description
Why buy a first or early pressing and not a re-issue or a ‘re-mastered’ vinyl album?
First pressings are made from first generation lacquers and stampers. They usually sound vastly superior to later issues and re-issues (which are often pressed from whatever tapes or digital sources are currently available). First or early pressings nearly always have more immediacy, presence and dynamics. The sound staging is wider and subtle instrument nuances are better placed with more spacious textures. Balances are firmer in the bottom end with a far-tighter bass. Upper-mid ranges shine without harshness, and the overall depth is more immersive, with inner details more clearer. On first and early pressings, the music tends to sound more ‘alive’ and vibrant.VINYL: MINT! SEALED! This is the Original 1968 Columbia 1st Pressing!

AllMusic Review by Bruce Eder
Flatt & Scruggs came to a parting of the ways at the end of the 1960s, and it started with the opening cut on this album, a version of "Like a Rolling Stone." In a sense, it was the illustration of the same spirit that got them to record "The Times They Are a Changin'" on the album. Scruggs recognized this fact and embraced it, while Flatt resisted it to the point that their 20-year partnership was split up as a result. The irony is that "Like a Rolling Stone" is transformed into something so close to bluegrass music that it's a minor revelation hearing it done this way -- it's that good, despite some awkward transitions. Among the rest of the songs, the other Dylan songs ("Rainy Day Women #12 & 35," "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight") come off beautifully, as do "Folsom Prison Blues," "Gentle on My Mind," "Catch the Wind", "If I Were a Carpenter" and "Universal Soldier".
